Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1>
MOBILE PHONE TELEPHONY This invention relates to mobile phone telephony, and particularly. but not exclusively, to mobile phone telephony involving the sending and receiving of text messages using the short message service (SMS).
Conventionally, mobile phone telephony networks include mobile switching centres (MSCs) for switching of application part messages, for example mobile application part (MAP) messages or CAMEL application part (CAP) messages, around the network from sender to receiver, and service control points (SCPs) which provide intelligent networks (INs) for control of the handling of the messages in the network according to a call model such as CAMEL2 (Customised Applications for Mobile Network Enhanced Logic 2). For example, speech messages sent from a pre-pay mobile phone are switched by an MSC to a receiver. The MSC alerts an SCP that a call has been made, and the SCP debits the account of the sender. In the case of SMS text messages, however, these are switched by an MSC to a short message service centre (SMSC) and on to the receiver. Neither the MSC nor the SMSC alerts the SCP that a message has been sent, and the SCP cannot therefore charge for the message at the time it is sent.
Instead the SMS text message can only be charged for once it has reached the SMSC, this is usually achieved by down-loading message details for post-processing off-line. By the time this is achieved, the recipient may already have retrieved the message. The sender may be using a pre-pay mobile phone and may not have had sufficient credit to send the SMS text message. This is only detected after the message has been sent to the SMSC, i. e. delivery of the message can be effectively free which is undesirable to the
<Desc/Clms Page number 2>
network providers. It is desirable for credit to be checked and charges levied before onward transmission of the SMS text message to the SMSC. Onward transmission can thereby be prevented if the sender has insufficient credit.
According to a first aspect of the pressent mention there is provided a method of operating a mobile phone telecommunications network, comprising using at least one mobile switching centre (MSC) of the network to receive at least one message and, as a result, to generate a mobile application part (MAP) message, transmitting the MAP message from the MSC to at least one service control point (SCP) of the network, and operating the SCP to process the MAP message The message received by the MSC may comprise a signalling message. for example relating to the connection of a speech message. The message received by the MSC may comprise a text message. for example a text message generated using the short message service (SMS). an'SMS text message'. The MSC may receive the message from. for example, a mobile phone or from a management system of the network. The MAP message generated by the MSC may contain information about the message received by the MSC. The MAP message generated by the MSC may contain at least part of the message received by the MSC. For example, when the message received by the MSC comprises a text message, the MAP message generated by the MSC may contain part or all of the text of the text message.
<Desc/Clms Page number 3>
Processing of the MAP message by the SCP may comprise interrogation of the MAP message. For example, processing of the MAP message by the SCP may comprise interrogation of the MAP message to obtain information from the MAP message.
Processing of the MAP message by the SCP may comprise determining the subsequent handling of the MAP message. For example, processing of the MAP message by the SCP may comprise determining whether or not the MAP message should be sent onwards towards an intended receiver. Processing of the MAP message by the SCP may comprise interrogation of the MAP message to obtain information from the MAP message, and using the information in determining the subsequent handling of the MAP message. For example, the information may comprise details of the identity of the sender of the message received by the MSC, and may be used to access an account of the sender and to determine whether or not there is sufficient credit to allow sending of the message onwards towards an intended receiver. The information may comprise details of the identity of the sender of the message received by the MSC, and may be used in determining whether or not messages from such a sender should be sent onwards towards an intended receiver.
When processing of the MAP message by the SCP comprises determining that the MAP message should not be sent onwards towards an intended receiver, the SCP may be used to discard the MAP message.
When processing of the MAP message by the SCP comprises determining that the MAP message should be sent onwards towards an intended receiver, the SCP may send the
<Desc/Clms Page number 4>
MAP message onwards towards the receiver by sending it to one or more MSCs. or one or more store and forward centres. I he SCP may change the destination address of the MAP message to send it onwards towards the receiver. When the MAP message received by the SCP comprises an SMS text MAP message. i. e. a MAP message generated by the MSC as a resuit of receiving an SMS text message, the SCP may send
the SMS text MAP message onwards towards the receiver by sending it to a short message service centre {SMSC).
The SCP ma) be operated to expect to receive a notification message containing information on successful sending of the MAP message onwards towards an intended receiver. The SCP may be operated to use a lack of receipt of the notification message to. for example. trigger crediting of the account of the sender of the message to the MSC.
Processing of the MAP message by the SCP may comprise charging a sender of the message received by the MSC. For example. processing of the MAP message by the SCP may comprise charging a sender of the message received by the MSC if the MAP message is sent onwards towards an intended receiver. Processing of the MAP message by the SCP may comprise charging a sender of the message received by the MSC before the MAP message is sent onwards towards an intended receiver. Thus'real-time' charging is possible. Processing of the MAP message by the SCP may comprise interrogation of the MAP message to obtain information from the MAP message, and using the information in charging a sender of the message received by the MSC. For example, the information may comprise details of the identity of the sender of the
<Desc/Clms Page number 5>
message received by the MSC, and may be used to access an account of the sender and to charge the sender. The information may comprise details of the length of the MAP message, and may be used to charge the sender.
Processing of the MAP message by the SCP may comprise triggering dispatch of a message to the sender of the message received by the MSC. Processing of the MAP message by the SCP may comprise interrogation of the MAP message to obtain information from the MAP message, and using the information in triggering dispatch of a message to the sender of the message received by the MSC. For example, the information may comprise details of the identity of the sender of the message received by the MSC, and may be used to access an account of the sender, to determine the credit available, and to trigger dispatch of a message to the sender if the credit is insufficient to allow sending of the message onwards towards an intended receiver.
Processing of the MAP message by the SCP may comprise analysis of the MAP message. Processing of the MAP message by the SCP may comprise interrogation of the MAP message to obtain information from the MAP message, and using the information in analysis of the MAP message. A number of MAP messages may be received by the SCP, and processing of these messages may comprise interrogating the messages to obtain information therefrom, and using the information to perform an analysis of the MAP messages, for example to analyse the sources of the MAP messages.
<Desc/Clms Page number 6>
The SCP may provide one or more service logic programs (SLPs). Each SLP may define one or more processes carried out by the SCP. Processing of the MAP message by the SCP ma) comprise running one or more SLPs. Processing of the MAP message by the SCP may comprise using the MAP message to trigger running of one or more SLPs.
The MAP message received by the SCP may comprise an SMS text MAP message, i. e. a MAP message generated by the MSC as a result of receipt of an SMS text message.
The SMS text MAP message may comprise part or all of the text of the SMS text message. The SCP may provide one or more SLPs.

The SCP illustrated here comprises a computer. which comprises a switch control 10, a service logic program (SLP) storage facility H. and a customer database storage facility 12. The switch control 10 is connected via a set of signalling links to the mobile phone telecommunications network. An SMS text MAP message from the servicing MSC 2 of the network 1 is sent to the SCP J and is received by the switch control 10 N-la the signalling link 13. The switch control 10 processes the SMS text MAP message by using it to trigger running of one or more of the SLPs stored in the SLP storage facility 12. For example. an SLP may be run which interrogates the SMS text MAP message to obtain details of the identity of the sender. The SLP then uses this information to interrogate the customer database in the storage facility 12. Phis contains details of the account of the sender. and the SLP checks the balance of the account to ascertain that the sender has sufficient credit to pay for sending the message to the receiver. If this is the case. the SLP instructs the SWC 10 to change the destination address of the SMS text MAP message to the SMSC of the network. The SWC changes the address and sends the SMS text MAP message to the SMSC'via the signalling link 14 and network MSC 4. The SLP causes the account of the sender held in the SDP to be debited. The SMSC sends the message onwards to the mobile phone 7 of the receiver. If the sender does not have sufficient credit to pay for sending the message to the receiver, the SLP instructs the SWC 10 to discard the SMS text MAP message, and to send a notification message to the servicing MSC of the network for onward transmission to the sender.
